Seems there are several models of the CQ60 such as CQ60-215DX, CQ60-417DX.
Do you know the full model #?

Did you look in bios for a setting to enable/disable this?
Did you reset bios to default after re-assembling the laptop?

I found this in a Wireless User Guide:

Quote:

A wireless device can be turned on or off using the Wireless Assistant software. If a wireless device is disabled by the Setup Utility, it must be reenabled by the Setup Utility before it can be turned on or off using Wireless Assistant.

Looking for BIOS setting for this sounds like a good idea to me too. I have very limited laptop experience, but I can say that my ACER laptop remembers what state the WIFI and Bluetooth are left in. I don't use the Bluetooth and turned it off with the keyboard button. It stays off on a reboot. Same deal with the WIFI adapter, if it was on when I turned the laptop off, its on when I power up again. I don't remember seeing a BIOS option for this, but that doesn't mean there isn't one or that you don't have one. The only other thing I can think of to check is the Windows Power options to see if its maybe being put in power saving mode.

Additionally, though this is our very basic knowledge, but need to check the BIOS RTC, just to make sure if your CMOS battery is still good to go. I can only guest like your BIOS setup revert to any default value (disabled).

Regular battery working OK? Power pack always plugged in? maybe its something that needs constant power to remember its state. If the laptop has no battery, or the battery is no good, and your unplugging the power pack when its off. The complete lose of power may make it toggle off. Grasping at straws a bit now.
